    This Omega was found in the bottom of a box while we were going through my fathers things and clearing out his house after his death. I have no details on it and no idea of its age or value. 20130329_033545.jpg 20130329_033548.jpg 20130329_033500.jpg 20130329_033512.jpg 20130329_033510.jpg 20130329_033500.jpg He did always admire accurate time pieces so that probably why he had kept this. Your knowledge and any information is greatly appreciated. I have been unable to find a likeness exactly like this, only ones with two or three stems instead of one.

    That's a 15 minute sports stopwatch. It looks like an Omega MG 6306 with a cal 800 movement, first issued in 1966.

    These aren't greatly in demand so have limited value. It might be worth $50-150 depending on who is buying it, so it probably has more sentimental value as a keepsake. It's a nice little find.

    Thanks so much for the information. We are planning on keeping the stopwatch as a keepsake, possibly to give to one of his grandsons sometime in the future.
